Durbin went 1-for-3 with an RBI double during Saturday's 7-1 loss to San Francisco.
Durbin supplied the Brewers' only run Saturday on an RBI double to right field in the second inning. It broke a four-game hitless streak for Durbin, who got the start at second base and could be seeing more time at the keystone if Brice Turang is out for an extended period of time while nursing a wrist injury.

Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Homers, swipes bag Monday
Rotowire
Durbin went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total RBI and a stolen base in a 7-0 win against the Cubs on Monday.
Durbin gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with a solo homer in the fifth inning. He added a run-scoring fielder's choice in the eighth, then stole second base. It was the first time this season Durbin has swiped a bag and homered in the same contest. The 25-year-old is slashing .255/.334/.377 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 46 runs and 11 thefts on the campaign.
Durbin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Durbin had started in each of the Brewers' previous three games, but he'll get a breather for the series finale as the Pirates send right-hander Mitch Keller to the mound. Anthony Seigler will get the nod at third base Wednesday, but Durbin could be a candidate to replace him at some point during the game, especially if the Pirates send a lefty to the mound.

Rotowire

Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting again versus righty
Rotowire
Durbin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
With left-hander Joey Wentz starting for Atlanta on Tuesday, Durbin rejoined the starting nine and went 0-for-4 with a walk across his five plate appearances, but he's still maintained a robust .320/.393/.440 slash line over 84 total plate appearances versus southpaws this season. Durbin has been far less effective against righties (.302 wOBA, 94 wRC+ in 242 plate appearances), though serviceable enough to remain the Brewers' best option at third base in those matchups. Even so, Durbin will find himself on the bench for the fourth straight game against a righty (Spencer Strider) while Brewers manager Pat Murphy once again goes with the switch-hitting Anthony Seigler at the hot corner. When asked about the shakeup at third base Tuesday, Murphy told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com that the rigors of the long season have played a factor in his decision to hold the rookie out of the lineup more frequently of late, though the skipper didn't indicate that Durbin has fallen into a strict platoon with Seigler. Nonetheless, the lack of consistent starts against right-handed pitching of late has made it more difficult to count on Durbin to compile counting stats.

Brewers' Caleb Durbin: On bench for third straight game
Rotowire
Durbin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
The rookie will stay on the bench for the third straight game, but he appears to be fully healthy, as he played the final four innings of Sunday's 14-3 win over Washington while going 2-for-2 with a stolen base, two runs and an RBI. Though manager Pat Murphy hasn't shed much light on Durbin's recent string of absences from the lineup, the expectation is that the 25-year-old will see the lion's share of the starts at the hot corner moving forward. Anthony Seigler will replace Durbin in the lineup once again Monday, but Seigler hasn't helped his case for earning extended playing time by slashing .188/.250/.188 through his first 36 big-league plate appearances.

Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Causes mayhem on basepaths
Rotowire
Durbin went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

Durbin continued a hot streak that has seen him slash .387/.451/.500 over his last 19 games with two homers, three steals, nine RBI and an impressive 17 runs despite the fact that he hasn't hit any higher than seventh in the order against right-handed pitching.
